7. Lots of anger here toward Abbott and Centerpoint.

BUT, I sit here in north Harris County hearing constant chainsaws and generators, knowing this Cat 1 Beryl was way worse than a lot of other storms. Our corner gas stations open yesterday, Kroger too but out of everything. This old survivor didn't plan ahead either, thought it would break up as usual after hitting land. Hell no. 6 huge trees alone on our little cul-de-sac hit 4+ houses, and my 3 story pine is strapped to the oak til we can get it cut down. No power here til mess cleared and busted houses checked. Grandson brought me generator Wed evening. I made hand mixed oatmilk for cereal. Join neighbors later for confab outside shade. Life is good.
